To dll wil/m it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, FRANK MILLWEE, a

. citizen of the United States, residing at Martv, in the county of Pickens, Indian Terri ucry, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Cooking Utensils, of which t e following is a specification.

This invention relates to cooking utensils, and especially to meat-broilers, and has for its objects to produce a comparatively sim vple lnexpensive device of this character which in practice will eiiiciently perform its functions, one whereby the liquids drawn from the meat during the cooking operation will iow to' a point remote from the meat, and one from which the liquid may freely escape.

With these and other objects in view the invention comprises the novel features of construction and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a roiler embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on a line centrally and longitudinally of the handle.

Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the utensil com rises a bottom 1, a marginal upstanding wa l or rim 2, and a handle' k3, Ithese arts being case or otherwise formed inv a sing e piece.

The bottom 1 of the utensil is of conical formgas shown, and arranged to project up; wardly within the marginal rim 2 to resent a central point or apex 4 of maximum reight, from Which point the bottom slopes gradually downward to its point of juncture with the rim 2, 'thereby forming a marginal trough or gutter 5, leading to a compartment or chamber 6, formed, preferably, at the inner end of the utensil, into hich it opens at its inner end, there being ormed throughthe bottom of the utensil and at the outer end of the chamber 6 a discharge opening or port 7.

In practice the meat to be broiled is placed in the utensil, as usual, and the latter arranged over a fire. As the cooking o eration progresses the liquid drawn from t e meat flows down theA inclined face of the bottom into the marginal channel or gutter 5, and thence to the com artment 6, from which. it esca es through tile port 7, whereby a dry con ition of the meat is reserved and the broili action facilitate it being understood t at during the'broiling operation the utensil is tilted from time to time to canse the juices accumulated in the channel 5 to iiow into the compartment 6.

From the foregoing it is apparent that I produce a simple inexpensive device admirably adapted for the attainment of the ends in view, it being understood that minor changes in the details herein set forth may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new is- 1. As a new article of manufacture, a culi nary vessel having a handle and comprising a bottom and a marginal wall, said vessel being provided with a drip-chamber having a dis charge-port leading through its bottom, the bottom of the vessel being of concave-convex form with its convex face disposed uppermost.

2. As a new article of manufacture a culinary vessel having a concave-convex bottom disposed wit-l1 its convex face uppermost and bounded by a marginal wall, the vessel being provided with a drip-chamber arranged to communicate therewith and having'a dripopening leading through its bottom.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a culinary vessel having a handle and comprising a bottom bounded by a marginal wall, said bottom being of concave-convex form with its convex face disposed uppermost on the vessel having a dri p-chamber communicating therewith, "said chamber having a drip-open ing leading through its bottom.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK MILLVVEE.
